In trade finance, letter of credit is generally abbreviated as LC /letter of credit) or DC ( documentary credit).
I haven't heard DLC before. But according to finance dictionaries DLC is also used ( as documentary letter of credit) although very seldom. Another alternative my be "Deffered letter of credit".

Dear Navi,

By "DLC" i'm pretty sure he meant "Documentary Letter of Credit". So, am i correct to assume that Letter of Credit, Documentary Credit and Documentary Letter of Credit are the same thing ?

Thanks for your explanation.

Yes, we are dealing with this intermediate and he keeps asking for DLC instead of LC. He said that DLC is "Documented" and LC isn't. Looks like he clearly doesn't know what he is talking about... I'm pretty sure he didnt mean Deffered LC.

So if i come to bank and tell them to issue a DLC, LC or DC they will issue exactly the same instrument correct?
